Every human provided with 100 years and little bit access to huge brain.
What they are doing:
1. Try to make money which he may not finish in his life time
2. Strive for fame where everyone praise him even after his death
poor people go for 1st option
average people sulk on their misfortune birth
rich people go for 2nd option
you don’t experience, literally, anything if you are dead.
logically speaking, humans are foolish
only non foolish act a human can do
1. suicide
2. suicide
3. suicide

And the wise person knows that neither fame nor riches will bring lasting wealth which is peace of heart and mind.
Money and fame. At times i wonder if that’s the ultimate goal for most people. I don’t agree much with poor/rich people thing tho, because money and fame do seem to go hand in hand,… and sadly seem to be what measures up the success of a human being nowadays. Wish we could go back to better times, damn those kids and their devil music.
You can’t go back. You can’t even go forward. There is only now. Forward and backward are merely mental gyrations which will drive you insane…or more insane.
Money and fame are also just common agreed upon illusions. Everyone says money is important, so we chase it. Dogs, lions, zebras, they don’t give a rats ass about money or fame. Only us humans!! why is that?
@Randall: Haha, i know we can’t ever go back (i assume that was directed to me so i replied, sorry if it wasn’t). And the future ends up being the now and thinking about it will only drive you insane (or more insane as you say). But in a way, the search for money and fame as gotten worse as years go by. In the end i guess we are all just chasing something and the most “popular” things to chase are money and fame. And as you say, popular opinion is the way to go this days (i hate that).
As for animals? they are the lucky ones in that sense, they strive to survive yet they do it at the most basic way. No chase for riches, fame, and no blingbling involved. I truly envy them.
